If you own a dog, you know very well the importance of having a pet whose behavior is not a cause for constant concern and irritation. Countless books have been dedicated to helping the pet owner solve the many problems related to dogs, such as pulling on the leash, barking incessantly, chewing puppies, house training, etc. It goes without saying that deciding which training source to use can be grueling exercise. The purpose of this article is to help you make that decision by checking out one of those sources, dogproblems.com. We will examine the following areas: (1) how extensive the list of dog behavior problems is so that you can be assured that your particular area of need is included, (2) what type of support is available to provide you with the comfort that the suggested solutions will really work.
Dogproblem.com’s claim of “An all-in-one dog training resource for owning, training and troubleshooting your dog’s behavior problems” appears to be fairly accurate. The subject of this book regarding dog training and the selection and choice of a puppy seems inexhaustible, including articles and videos, member forums, consultation with canine specialists, and member photo sharing. Without exploring each of the 42 alphabetically listed departments, from “adopting a dog” to “submissive urination,” it appears that the dog owner can find a solution for just about any topic. This is different from many sites or books that seem to focus on just one or two problems.
Regarding your confidence that applying the suggested remedies will be successful, let’s take a look at how thoroughly each issue is covered and what kind of support is available. Each particular area or department provides the pet owner with a number of solutions. For example, if you were to try to house train your puppy, you would go to the “Dog House Training” department. Here you will find seven different articles covering topics such as: correct when they do it in the wrong place, praise when they do it in the right place, establish a “doody area” and a delete command “get to work”.
If the article or video still leaves questions, there is a forum available that allows pet owners to share their experiences with other owners. Additionally, this place also offers unlimited consultations with a team of canine behavior experts at dogproblems.com. This combination of articles, forums, and consultations should provide you with both the knowledge and the support to successfully resolve your dog’s behavior problems.
The only negative I could find, if it is really negative, is that the sheer amount of information can be overwhelming at first. Maybe it could be organized a little better to make it a little easier to classify.
When you want to invest in dog training, you can choose from many different sites, books, and prices. It can be a difficult decision no matter how surprising the claims are. A review of dogproblems.com seems to indicate a site that gives the pet owner a solution to almost every problem imaginable. Most importantly, video support, access to other dog owners’ forums, and consultation with canine behavior experts should give the pet owner confidence in a successful outcome.
